Welcome to the Building Division

Permits are required when there is new construction to a building as well as some repair work or alterations to an existing structure. In addition, when a building is to be remodeled, renovated or enlarged, a permit will be required. New work consists of any new construction, commercial or residential, from vacant ground to a completed new structure. Projects that are considered cosmetic, such as painting, carpeting, adding new wallpaper, cabinets, and trim work, do not require a permit. If you have any questions concerning your specific project, please feel free to contact us.

Complete building permit application: Use this application for projects such as new single-family residences, new commercial buildings, additions and detached structures over 500 sq.ft. These applications also provide questionairres for Encroachment permits, Grading Permits, Well permits, and Septic permits. It is highly recommended that applicants contact building division staff to discuss submittal requirements.
